The government today, 30 June 2023, approved a draft government decision on the signing of a cooperation agreement between the Moldovan Interior Ministry and the Interior Ministry of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The purpose of the Agreement is to strengthen relations between the States in the field of internal affairs and co-operation in the protection of human rights and freedoms.

At the same time, this agreement will contribute to preventing and combating crime, protecting the interests of the state and the population from unlawful actions.
